28 Days Later delivers the goods!

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2004)

Thank God for this film. My impression of Danny Boyle was really down in the mud after a s****y turd that was A Life Less Ordinary. Haven't seen The Beach.
Although people seem to think this is a zombie flick, it technically isn't. The ones who have been infected are not dead. They just go simply mad of rage after catching the virus. Still, 28 Days Later has the sweet echoes of Romero's The Living Dead trilogy without actually ripping anything off.
Cillian who? I had never heard of this guy before, but after this movie hit me so hard, I will certainly be sitting in the audience of "Batman 5" (not that I wouldn't be there anyways). Murphy is excellent in this yarn and the cast is good all together, but the man shining through this time is Brendan Gleeson. I've always liked him. One talented motherf...!
Good horror coming your way out of the UK!
